The Bound Between Us

Chapter 20

Anastasia’s heart raced as she quickly turned to look at Herman, trying to gauge his reaction

1 didn’t mean to hide anything from you,” she explained anxiously. “I didn’t come to the reunion because of my ex Don’t get the wrong idea”

When they first met, Anastasia had mentioned a previous relationship. Judging by Cason’s reaction, Herman had quickly picked up on their history. Even if Anastasia didn’t have any lingering feelings, it seemed clear that Cason did.

At a stoplight, Herman parked the car steadily looking over at her Anastasia, don’t worry. I trust you”

Her eyes widened in surprise at his words. Any other man would have been a tad upset, even if they didn’t show it.

Herman was calm, though He wasn’t angry or jealous. But when she remembered they were a newly married couple in name only, without an emotional foundation, it made sense.

Unaware of her thoughts, Herman wasn’t angry or jealous because Cason wasn’t a threat.

Even though Herman wasn’t bothered, Anastasia still felt the need to explain, “We dated for half a year in high school, then both of us got into Riverdale College. His family sent him abroad, so we lost contact. We weren’t very serious.”

The light turned green, and Herman started the car “You were a student at Riverdale College. Why did you choose to sell stuff at a night market?” “Huh?” Anastasia was surprised. The thing Herman was curious about was pretty strange. He wasn’t interested in her past with Cason?

After gathering her thoughts, she answered. “My family had some issues, su I dropped out after my first year. I didn’t graduate.”

Seeing her discomfort, Herman didn’t press further
